Dozens Dead & Missing in Acapulco Following Category 5 Hurricane | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Officials in Acapulco have updated the death toll to 45, with another 47 still unaccounted for, after Hurricane Otis barraged the city of Acapulco as a category 5 hurricane last week. Riots and looting broke out in the popular tourist city of 900,000 people as food, water and other basic necessities became scarce. Many people criticized the Mexican government's slow response. Technical Advisor for Emergency Program Quality and Management for Catholic Relief Services, Chris Lopez, joins to share what the latest is out of Acapulco. Besides the sheer strength of this storm, Lopez tells us what he thinks the damage in Acapulco has been. He discusses what the biggest needs are that they are trying to fill right now and what some of the biggest complications they are facing are. Lopez explains how the Catholic churches in Acapulco are doing, whether they are holding up and how partnering with them will help the community. He fills us in on where people can go if they would like to contribute or get involved in the efforts. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
